Examples

# List EC2 instances
clanker aws list ec2

# List Lambda functions with specific profile
clanker aws list lambda --profile prod

# List S3 buckets in staging environment
clanker aws list s3 --environment stage

# List RDS instances
clanker aws list rds

# List EKS clusters
clanker aws list eks

​
Infrastructure as code workflow

Clanker provides a two-step workflow for infrastructure changes:

​
1. Generate plan (maker)

# Generate a plan for creating resources
clanker ask --maker "create an s3 bucket for logs"

# Generate a plan with destructive operations allowed
clanker ask --maker --destroyer "delete the old test bucket"
Outputs a JSON plan with all AWS CLI commands.

​
2. Review and apply

# Apply a plan from stdin
clanker ask --apply < plan.json

# Apply a plan from file
clanker ask --apply --plan-file plan.json
Executes all commands in the plan with progress tracking.
